Nations Grow and Spread
10 This is the family history of the sons of Noah: Shem, Ham and Japheth. After the flood these three men had sons.
Japheth’s Sons
2 The sons of Japheth were Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech and Tiras.
3 The sons of Gomer were Ashkenaz, Riphath and Togarmah.
4 The sons of Javan were Elishah, Tarshish, Kittim[a] and Rodanim. 5 Those who lived in the lands around the Mediterranean Sea came from these sons of Japheth. All the families grew and became different nations. Each nation had its own land and its own language.
Ham’s Sons
6 The sons of Ham were Cush, Mizraim,[b] Put and Canaan.
7 The sons of Cush were Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah and Sabteca.
The sons of Raamah were Sheba and Dedan.
8 Cush also had a descendant named Nimrod. Nimrod became a very powerful man on earth. 9 He was a great hunter before the Lord. That is why people say someone is “like Nimrod, a great hunter before the Lord.” 10 At first Nimrod’s kingdom covered Babylon, Erech, Akkad and Calneh in the land of Babylonia. 11 From there he went to Assyria. There he built the cities of Nineveh, Rehoboth Ir and Calah. 12 He also built Resen, the great city between Nineveh and Calah.
13 Mizraim was the father of the Ludites, Anamites, Lehabites, Naphtuhites, 14 Pathrusites, Casluhites and the people of Crete. (The Philistines came from the Casluhites.)
15 Canaan was the father of Sidon his first son and of Heth. 16 Canaan was also the father of the Jebusites, Amorites, Girgashites, 17 Hivites, Arkites, Sinites, 18 Arvadites, Zemarites and Hamathites. The families of the Canaanites scattered. 19 The land of the Canaanites reached from Sidon to Gerar as far as Gaza. And it reached to Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboiim, as far as Lasha.
20 All these people were the sons of Ham. All these families had their own languages, their own lands and their own nations.
Shem’s Sons
21 Shem, Japheth’s older brother, also had sons. One of his descendants was the father of all the sons of Eber.
22 The sons of Shem were Elam, Asshur, Arphaxad, Lud and Aram.
23 The sons of Aram were Uz, Hul, Gether and Meshech.
24 Arphaxad was the father of Shelah. Shelah was the father of Eber. 25 Eber was the father of two sons. One son was named Peleg[c] because the earth was divided during his life. Eber’s other son was named Joktan.
26 Joktan was the father of Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah, 27 Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah, 28 Obal, Abimael, Sheba, 29 Ophir, Havilah and Jobab. All these people were the sons of Joktan. 30 These people lived in the area between Mesha and Sephar in the hill country in the East.
31 These are the people from the family of Shem. They are arranged by families, languages, countries and nations.
32 This is the list of the families from the sons of Noah. They are arranged according to their nations. From these families came all the nations who spread across the earth after the flood.

The sons of Raamah:
8 Cush was the father[c] of Nimrod,(Y) who became a mighty warrior on the earth. 9 He was a mighty(Z) hunter(AA) before the Lord; that is why it is said, “Like Nimrod, a mighty hunter before the Lord.” 10 The first centers of his kingdom were Babylon,(AB) Uruk,(AC) Akkad and Kalneh,(AD) in[d] Shinar.[e](AE) 11 From that land he went to Assyria,(AF) where he built Nineveh,(AG) Rehoboth Ir,[f] Calah 12 and Resen, which is between Nineveh and Calah—which is the great city.

23 The sons of Aram:
Uz,(BF) Hul, Gether and Meshek.[i]

One was named Peleg,[k] because in his time the earth was divided; his brother was named Joktan.
26 Joktan was the father of
Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah, 27 Hadoram, Uzal,(BH) Diklah, 28 Obal, Abimael, Sheba,(BI) 29 Ophir,(BJ) Havilah and Jobab. All these were sons of Joktan.
30 The region where they lived stretched from Mesha toward Sephar, in the eastern hill country.
31 These are the sons of Shem by their clans and languages, in their territories and nations.
32 These are the clans of Noah’s sons,(BK) according to their lines of descent, within their nations. From these the nations spread out over the earth(BL) after the flood.

Geneza 10
Nouă Traducere În Limba Română
Formarea şi răspândirea neamurilor pe pământ
10 Aceasta este genealogia[a] fiilor lui Noe – Sem, Ham şi Iafet – şi aceştia au fost fiii care li s-au născut după potop.
Iafetiţii
2 Fiii[b] lui Iafet au fost: Gomer, Magog, Madai, Iavan, Tubal, Meşek şi Tiras.
3 Fiii lui Gomer au fost: Aşchenaz, Rifat şi Togarma.
4 Fiii lui Iavan au fost: Elişa, Tarşiş, Chitim şi Dodanim[c]. 5 Din aceştia s-au răspândit în teritoriile lor neamurile de pe coastă, fiecare neam având limba lui şi fiind organizat pe clanuri în propriul său teritoriu.
Hamiţii
6 Fiii lui Ham au fost: Cuş, Miţrayim[d], Put şi Canaan.
7 Fiii lui Cuş au fost: Seba, Havila, Sabta, Rama şi Sabteca.
Fiii lui Rama au fost: Şeba şi Dedan.
8 Lui Cuş[e] i s-a născut Nimrod; acesta a ajuns un om puternic pe pământ. 9 El a fost un vânător puternic înaintea Domnului; de aceea se spune: „Ca Nimrod, vânător puternic înaintea Domnului.“ 10 Primele centre ale regatului său au fost: Babel, Erec, Akkad şi Calne[f], în ţara Şinar[g]. 11 Din acea ţară, el s-a dus în Asur[h] şi a construit Ninive, Rehobot-Ir, Calah 12 şi Resen, care este între Ninive şi Calah; aceasta este cetatea cea mare.
13 Din Miţrayim provin ludiţii, anamiţii, lehabiţii, naftuhiţii,
14 patrusiţii, casluhiţii şi caftoriţii;
din casluhiţi provin filistenii.
15 Lui Canaan i s-a născut Sidon, întâiul său născut, şi Het;
16 din el provin şi iebusiţii, amoriţii, ghirgasiţii,
17 hiviţii, archiţii, siniţii,
18 arvadiţii, ţemariţii şi hamatiţii.
După aceea clanurile canaaniţilor s-au răspândit, 19 iar hotarele lor se întindeau de la Sidon spre Gherar, până la Gaza şi apoi spre Sodoma, Gomora, Adma şi Ţeboim, până la Laşa.
20 Aceştia au fost urmaşii lui Ham, potrivit clanurilor lor, după limbile lor, în ţările şi în cadrul neamurilor lor.
Semiţii
21 I s-au născut fii şi lui Sem, fratele mai mare al lui Iafet[i]; Sem a fost strămoşul tuturor fiilor lui Eber.
22 Fiii lui Sem au fost: Elam, Asur, Arpahşad, Lud şi Aram.
23 Fiii lui Aram au fost: Uţ, Hul, Gheter şi Maş[j].
24 Lui Arpahşad i s-a născut Şelah, iar lui Şelah[k] i s-a născut Eber.
25 Lui Eber i s-au născut doi fii: numele unuia era Peleg[l], pentru că în timpul vieţii lui a fost împărţit pământul, iar numele fratelui său era Ioktan.
26 Lui Ioktan i s-au născut Almodad, Şelef, Haţar-Mavet, Iarah,
27 Hadoram, Uzal, Dikla,
28 Obal, Abimael, Şeba,
29 Ofir, Havila şi Iobab.
Toţi aceştia au fost fiii lui Ioktan. 30 Regiunea în care locuiau se întindea de la Meşa spre Sefar, muntele de la răsărit. 31 Aceştia au fost urmaşii lui Sem, potrivit clanurilor lor, după limbile lor, în ţările şi în cadrul neamurilor lor.
32 Acestea au fost clanurile fiilor lui Noe, potrivit urmaşilor lor, în cadrul neamurilor lor; din ei s-au răspândit neamurile pe pământ, după potop.

10 Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth: and unto them were sons born after the flood.
2 The sons of Japheth; Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras.
3 And the sons of Gomer; Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah.
4 And the sons of Javan; Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim.
5 By these were the isles of the Gentiles divided in their lands; every one after his tongue, after their families, in their nations.
6 And the sons of Ham; Cush, and Mizraim, and Phut, and Canaan.
7 And the sons of Cush; Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabtechah: and the sons of Raamah; Sheba, and Dedan.
8 And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth.
9 He was a mighty hunter before the Lord: wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the Lord.
10 And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.
11 Out of that land went forth Asshur, and builded Nineveh, and the city Rehoboth, and Calah,
12 And Resen between Nineveh and Calah: the same is a great city.
13 And Mizraim begat Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim, and Naphtuhim,
14 And Pathrusim, and Casluhim, (out of whom came Philistim,) and Caphtorim.
15 And Canaan begat Sidon his first born, and Heth,
16 And the Jebusite, and the Amorite, and the Girgasite,
17 And the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite,
18 And the Arvadite, and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite: and afterward were the families of the Canaanites spread abroad.
19 And the border of the Canaanites was from Sidon, as thou comest to Gerar, unto Gaza; as thou goest, unto Sodom, and Gomorrah, and Admah, and Zeboim, even unto Lasha.
20 These are the sons of Ham, after their families, after their tongues, in their countries, and in their nations.
21 Unto Shem also, the father of all the children of Eber, the brother of Japheth the elder, even to him were children born.
22 The children of Shem; Elam, and Asshur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram.
23 And the children of Aram; Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Mash.
24 And Arphaxad begat Salah; and Salah begat Eber.
25 And unto Eber were born two sons: the name of one was Peleg; for in his days was the earth divided; and his brother's name was Joktan.
26 And Joktan begat Almodad, and Sheleph, and Hazarmaveth, and Jerah,
27 And Hadoram, and Uzal, and Diklah,
28 And Obal, and Abimael, and Sheba,
29 And Ophir, and Havilah, and Jobab: all these were the sons of Joktan.
30 And their dwelling was from Mesha, as thou goest unto Sephar a mount of the east.
31 These are the sons of Shem, after their families, after their tongues, in their lands, after their nations.
32 These are the families of the sons of Noah, after their generations, in their nations: and by these were the nations divided in the earth after the flood.
